Battery Help

my girlfriend hooked me up with this for christmas:

Click the image to open in full size.

ocean kayak drifter. and my parents got me a bait tank for it, but i need a battery to run the tank. so, being a rookie at this, i have three questions:

1. what should i use for a battery to run the pump?
2. where can i find one in orange county?
3. what should i expect (roughly) to pay for one?

i'm hoping to (someday) have a gps and a depthfinder for the yak as well. but that might be a couple years off.

thanks in advance.
